SHUTTER-WORKER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 502,240, dated July 25, 18.93. Application filed February 23, 1893. Serial No.146 3.332. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN VERNEE STEIE- LING, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Richland, in the county of Oconee and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shutter Adjusters and Hinges Combined; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exj act description of the invention, such as will lo enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certain improvements in a combined shutter hinge-lock and adjuster, whereby the shutter can be operated from the inside of the sash, and secured at any angle; and when closed will be -securely locked, also the hinge will be retained in place should the hinge pin be removed from any cause, all of which will be hereinafzo tei; more particularly described and pointed In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification Figure l is a transverse section, of a part of a window frame,

sashes, and shutter, showing the application of the hinge, lock, and adjuster. Fig. 2 is a side View of the box for the adjuster. Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an edge view of the hinge, showing the threads on 3o the segment. Fig. 5 is an inside view ot' the box partly in section.

A is the box frame of a window; A' the inside, and A the outside casing, and A the jamb; B, B are the lower and upper sash tiles. These are all of the usual construcion.

O is a cast metal box having on each side a iiange c and at the ends bosses o, through which are holes c for the hinge pin; the up- 4o per part of the bosses c" have projecting caps g to overlap the bosses g on the hinge E, when put together so that, should the pin break, or be removed violently, when the shutter is closed, the hinge can not be removed from the box. There is a web c con` tinuing around the shell of the boxwhich bears against the face of the outer casing A-to brace the box in its place.

C is a projecting plate against which the 5o worm-screw D is supported.

E is the hinge which is secured to the shutter F by screws through the ears f, f.

E is a segment having on its circumference the worm gear e e, &c., to correspond with the spiral thread on the screw D.

g. g. are bosses on the sides of the segment E-through which is the hole for the hinge pin. The box C is secured tothe window frame as shown in Fig. l-by concealed screws from the inside. A screw d is shown through 6o the body of the box; and at d Fig. 2-is shown a hole for the screw, to be used to fasten it to the casing, and another screw to be used immediately opposite to it-not shown in the drawings.

D is a rod securely attached to the worm screw D -orl the two may be cast in one piece. This rod D extends some distance inside of the inner casing to receive a knob G or any other suitable ixture by which the screw can be 7c turned. There is a scutcheon H, secured to the casing through which the rod D passes.

The connection of the hinge E-with the box C and the screw D-is made as follows: The screw rod D is passed through the orice in the end of the box O-and the screw D dropped to its place-as in Fig. 1. The box O is then secured to the frame. The hinge E is then fastened to the shutter F. The shutter is then held at an angle to per- 8o mit the hinge E to slide into the opening of the box C, as shown in broken lines Fig. l, so that the bosses g, g will go under the caps ofthe bosses c c in the rear of which are recesses g to permit the passage of the 8 5 bosses g. The hinge p in is then inserted and secured.y The screws and segments should be made rights and lefts so that the movements of the two shutters will be uniform. 9o

I claim- The hinge E having a cogged segment E and projecting bosses g, g, in combination with the box C having bosses c, c, supplied with overhanging caps, gand the screw rod D and worm screw D operated by the knob G whereby the shutter can be adj ustedopened and locked when closed substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my si gnaturei n too presence of two witnesses.

JOHN VERNER STRIBLING.
